Fireballs on the Rise
There are increasing meteor reports recently all over the world. More debris from the Px tail...
ZetaTalk: Live Chat, written November 21, 2009
- "When the debris from the tail of Planet X first started arriving in ernest, in 2004, the establishment chose to call this space junk. When the public became alarmed at the amount of space junk falling to Earth they tried to enhance the story by claiming that two satellites had crashed into each other, but this just made a bad story worse. Since fireballs have not gone away, but continued apace and if anything gotten worse, a new term has been used - asteroids. This is debris in the tail of Planet X, which is increasingly turning toward the Earth, hosed out from the N Pole of Planet X. This is why the wobble has gotten more violent, why electromagnetic disruption of dams and airplanes has occurred, and why blackouts will become more frequent. There will also be displays in the sky, some of which has already been noticed, from the electromagnetic tides assaulting the Earth's atmosphere. Stay tuned, more to come!"

Reports of a "bright light" and an "orange glow" were received by police across Scotland and the north of England around 9.40pm.
The Met Office tweeted: "Hi All, for anyone seeing something in the night sky, we believe it was a meteorite."
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said the force had been "inundated" with calls about a bright object in the sky across the west of Scotland. A Durham Police spokeswoman said a number of calls came in around 9.45pm from concerned members of public who had seen a "bright light or a fire in the sky" and believed it may have been incidents involving an aircraft. "
It has been confirmed with air traffic control that there are no incidents of aircraftin difficult and nothing registered on radar," she said. "
The sightings are believed to be either an asteroid burning out or similar which has been restricted to the upper atmosphere only." Grampian Police said reports of people seeing a "flare or a bright object with a tail" were received from across the region. And Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary said numerous calls were made about a "large ball of fire in the sky" across Annandale and Eskdale.
One user wrote on the force's Facebook page: "It was awesome to see! Really big and bright!" Hundreds of people took to Twitter to report similar sightings across Scotland and the north of England. People described seeing a bright fireball moving across the sky with a large tail.
The Kielder Observatory also reported the sighting of a "huge fireball" travelling from north to south over Northumberland at 9.41pm. The Observatory posted on Twitter: "Of 30 years observing the sky #fireball best thing I have ever seen period."

Cop’s dashcam captures amazing moment METEOR falls to Earth
Published 24th April 2019A SPACE rock travelling at speeds of up to 45,000 mph was captured on a police officer’s dashcam while he was on a routine patrol.
Patrol officer, Nathan Kutz was carrying out an extra sweep of ocean City’s 130th street area after receiving a request from a worried resident but instead of catching a local villain he caught an intruder from outer space on his dashcam.
A spokesperson for Ocean City Police Department said: “Just before midnight, the meteor flew through the sky and was captured on PFC Kutz's dash cam.
“We are used to our dash cams catching the bad guys but the fact that it caught this beautiful display of science is incredible.”
AMAZING: The fireball was spotted around 11pm (Pic: SWNS)
Meteors - also known as shooting stars - typically hit speeds of up to 45,000mph when they enter the earth’s atmosphere.
As they head towards the surface of the earth they create a streak of light caused by friction with the atmosphere.
Meteors become visible between about 75 to 120 km above Earth and can vary in size and composition.

Fireball streaks across southern Jersey Shore sky
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbXdL5YTu50
If you saw a vivid object race across the Jersey Shore sky Tuesday evening, you’re not alone.
More than 350 spotters reported seeing a fireball across portions of the Mid-Atlantic, possibly originating above Vineland, New Jersey, streaking over Cape May, and disappearing over the ocean east of Delaware, according to a reporting log on the American Meteor Society website.
Commenters on the Cool Cape May Facebook page reported seeing the vivid fireball and feeling shaking.
“Saw it. It lit up the sky and was incredible to see. Right place right time I guess,” Jerry Inderwies Jr. wrote.
It was also spotted in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
The fireball, another term for a very bright meteor, was described as a mixture of light blue, green, orange, yellow, and white with a glowing trail, according to the AMS reports.
“It sparkled brilliantly and seemed to fall apart,” one spotted wrote.
The organization says “several thousand” fireballs occur each day, but they are rarely seen.
“The vast majority of these, however, occur over the oceans and uninhabited regions, and a good many are masked by daylight. Those that occur at night also stand little chance of being detected due to the relatively low numbers of persons out to notice them,” a fireball FAQ from AMS notes.

Large meteor explodes in sky over Siberia in third major space fire...
By The Siberian Times reporter07 April 2019Bright and noisy with a long, sparkling green and yellow tail, it was filmed by multiple observers in Krasnoyarsk region.
The phenomenon caused fear on the ground.
‘I panicked as it sounded and looked like a plane on fire, I got really scared of the noise and shine it created’, said a local woman from Krasnoyarsk, the large industrial city.
‘I pulled a phone out of a pocket, but it flew across the sky so fast that I only caught a long white trace it left.’
Some residents said the meteor was blindingly bright, akin to the light and sparks created during intense welding work.
It split into several parts before disappearing in the sky somewhere over Irkutsk region, east of Krasnoyarsk.
The local ministry of emergencies confirmed it registered a meteor, and said that it didn’t pose a threat to people or infrastructure.
It is the third major meteor or meteorite event in four months.
On 18 December a meteor exploded close to Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula with a force ten times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb, according to NASA.
On 15 March a meteorite slammed into Krasnoyarsk region with local reports saying it ‘warmed the air’ and ‘shook the ground’ after streaking across the sky in a green, yellow and orange fireball.
This came down close to the site of the Tunguska Event in 1911 when a meteor exploded in the atmosphere wiping out 80 million trees, and with the estimated force of 185 Hiroshima bombs.
THE THIRD MAJOR SPACE FIREBALL INCURSION IN FOUR MONTHS
Expert Viktor Grokhovsky from Ural Federal University, studied the videos of the 6 April event and concluded that the recent space guest was a bolide.
‘It exploded quite high in the sky somewhere over Irkutsk region,’ he concluded.
'It was a bolide that moved with a speed higher than the New Tunguska meteorite (LINK) from Evenkia.
‘Its structure must have been quite loose given that it split into fragments.’
The latest meteor incursion was spotted by dash cams and eye witnesses around 7 pm on 6 April.

Bright fireball that flared up in the night sky surprising northern Florida turns out to be a meteor
- A bright object falling out of the sky that surprised social media users in Florida turned out to be meteor on Saturday night per the National Weather Service
- People throughout the Sunshine State captured the blueish glowing meteor light up the night sky and posted their surprise and delight online
- The National Weather Service said it there were unconfirmed reports of the meteor landing near Perry, Florida, about 55 miles southeast of Tallahassee
Just before midnight on Saturday night, people in northern Florida were treated to a surprising bright light in the sky that turned out to be a meteor.
'Did you see it? A meteor was caught on GOES Lightning Mapper (GLM) around 3:52Z or 11:52 PM ET!' confirmed the National Weather Service out of Tallahassee on Twitter.
The meteor's flash was captured on the Geostationary Lightning Mapper, a satellite taking hundreds of images per second to map lightning storms, according to CNN.
'Meteors coming into the Earth's atmosphere happen fairly often but we don't always get to see them,' said CNN meteorologist Haley Brink.
'Nowadays we have so many satellites in space and cameras on the ground that these events are becoming more and more visible to the general public.'
Social media users in Florida captured the flare-up late Saturday night with various posts that registered their surprise.
'This isn't normally what I post on my channel, but tonight I was out on my way home, and I saw something pretty crazy,' said a user who runs EVE Pro Guides - EVE Online PVP and ISK Guides YouTube channel. 'Luckily my dashcam caught it, so I'll let you watch right here.'
Eve Pro Guides user took the time to do a slow motion portion of the meteor's fall as well as provide some closeups

Stargazers looking for Aurora Australis mystified by bright green flash
By Charley Rico29th March 2019
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-29/tasmanian-stargazers-look-fo...
Key points:
* Residents in Tasmania's south saw a bright green flash in the starry sky
* Social media users suggested it was a meteor, glowing green because of the metals inside the rock
* An expert says it could also be space debris, but added it was a "spectacular" sight
They were waiting for the Aurora Australis, but amateur photographers were left guessing after seeing a bright green flash light up the Tasmanian sky.
Amateur photographer Leoni Williams captured a shot of the green streak about 9:30pm on Thursday by "accident".
Overlooking Pipe Clay Lagoon, toward Clifton Beach in southern Tasmania, Ms Williams had her camera facing south in anticipation of an Aurora.
"I was very lucky to capture this bright green object before it disappeared over the horizon," Ms Williams said.
"I'm still not sure what it was. I didn't actually see it with the naked eye as I wasn't watching. I had just set the camera on 30 seconds and pushed the shutter and turned back to my phone.
"I would imagine it was pretty quick. I nearly missed it because it was at the end of the exposure."
Photo sparked social media debate
Ms Williams took to social media to try and find out what she'd captured on camera.
Opinions varied, with some thinking it was a shooting star, a fallen satellite or even a UFO.
Spotted from the Huon Valley to Dodges Ferry, other photos began popping up on social media.
Eventually, it was shared on social media page Australian Meteor Reports.
"It's definitely a meteor," page administrator David Finlay said.
"That flash that's been captured is a very, very bright meteor — it's what we'd call a 'fireball'. It probably lit up the countryside."
Mr Finlay — a former industrial chemist who has been studying astronomy from an very early age — said the flash was created by a "small rock from space, blazing through the atmosphere, creating friction with the atmosphere".
"It glows and ionises gas — that's what you see as this fireball blazing through the sky.
"If it actually survives atmospheric entry and lands as a rock on land, that's what we call a meteorite — only if it makes it to the ground."
Why is it green?
As for the bright green glow, Mr Finlay said it had to do with the elemental components of the meteor.
"The green is produced by a combination of the nickel and iron in the meteor," he said.
"It's probably just a normal rocky meteor but it would contain flecks of metal in the rock, producing that colour. It's very cool.
"It's what we colloquially call a 'fish squisher' because it's over the ocean," he said.
Professor Simon Ellingsen, the head of physics at the University of Tasmania, said it was possible the object was manmade space debris rather than a meteor.
"[The colour] is almost certainly because of the specific elements and minerals in the object," he said.
"It probably wouldn't have looked that green to the naked eye [because] digital cameras are so good at picking up the light."
He said while it wasn't unusual to spot a meteor or space debris over Tasmania, this object would have been a special sight to see.
"The sort of rule of thumb is if you go outside to a clear, dark sight, you'll see a shooting star, so to speak, about every 10 minutes or so," he said.
"This one that's been caught is bigger than normal and more spectacular than you normally get.
"This photographer was obviously in the right place at the right time."
